The woman flees

READING ACTS: Escape to the Wilderness – Revelation 12: 5-6. Phil Long continues his blog series on the Book of Revelation, now concentrating on the seven sights of chapters 12-15. We are still on the first sight, the woman with the celestial accoutrements.

For more on the idea that this episode was a preexisting "Jewish apocalyptic fragment" used by John, see here. And follow the links from there for notice of earlier posts in Phil's series on the Book of Revelation.
